ELESS PRODUCT GUIDE
Important Note: If the operating mode chosen is not ‘Conventional’ it will be necessary to make changes as
described in section 7.3.4 below.
7.3.4 Select software enabled ‘loop type’, ‘operating modes’ and ‘alarm duty cycle’
After deciding upon an appropriate operating mode as described in Section 5, it is important to
ensure that the following, matching software settings are made or in place; otherwise Fireless will
not behave as expected with appropriate cause, effect and functionality.
Go to the ‘SERVICE MENU’ and make the following changes, followed by OK:
Service Menu’ Transponder Operating Mode
8.0 PC Interface
A PC interface kit is available (P/N 10-004), consisting of a Micro USB PCB sub-assembly, connecting lead
and software. The PCB has a female header, which can be hot connected with a corresponding connector
on the Transponder as shown in the diagram below. The software is non-executable and can be run directly
from its own file location, which means that it may also be kept and run from on an external flash drive. For
ease of use, the controls and visual interface displayed are identical to that of the Transponder LCD front-
plate.
9.0 Service & Maintenance
9.1 Battery replacement and disposal
Batteries are supplied with each product at order stage and are designed to have a useful life of up to three
years depending upon shelf life, ambient temperature and operating regimes.
Each Fireless field device contains a primary and secondary battery pack, each of which is individually
monitored and will report a fault condition if it is depleted, missing or has 30 or 7 days of useful remaining
capacity available. When a battery warning is given, all batteries for the particular field device must be
replaced as soon as possible. Batteries used and specified for use by Fireless are standard, commercially
available products. Part codes are shown in the specification section of this manual.
10.0 Environmental
Apart from the weatherproof manual call point, all field devices are for indoor use only.
11.0 Troubleshooting
1. Q: When I try to ADD a new device to the transponder, the device is not found.
A: Check that new batteries have been fitted and polarity is correct.
A: Perform a device RESET by holding down the START button for 15 seconds.
A: Make sure that the device is within range of the transponder.
2. Q: When I check the event log, there is a ‘UNS’ message being reported periodically
A: A device which has previously been added to the transponder has been deleted, but still has its batteries
fitted and is in transponder range. Locate and Reset the device by holding down its START button for 15
seconds, then remove the batteries.
